November 9th, 2007 A.Howard geombias-V09-00-01
     - Revised search algorithm to Weight/UpperBound + 1.

November 9th, 2007 A.Howard geombias-V09-00-00
     - Modified WeightWindow algorithm according to Thomas Booth's
       recommendation (MCNP author). In order to not introduce extra variance 
       in the case of splitting to the survival weight when the weight is 
       above the upper weight window - modified G4WeightWindowAlgorithm.cc

June 4th, 2007 A.Howard geombias-V08-03-02
     - Put back some missing store and scoring classes:
       G4IStore, G4VCellScorerstore, G4VCellScorer

May 31st, 2007 A.Howard geombias-V08-03-01
     - Removed classes from old biasing scheme.  These are now replaced by
       either CoupledTransportation (parallel navigation) or in 
       processe/biasing.  In addition the scoring is implemented with the new
       scoring frame-work (digits_hits) and processes/scoring.
     - The following classes are removed:
       G4IStore, G4ParallelNavigator, G4ParallelStepper, G4ParallelWorld,
       G4VCellScorer, G4VCellScorerStore, G4VIStore, G4VParallelStepper, 
       G4VPGeoDriver, G4VScorer, G4ImportanceSplitExaminer, 
       G4VImportanceSplitExaminer, G4VWeightWindowExaminer, 
       G4WeightWindowExaminer
     - Classes are kept in the HEAD for testing purposes.

May 11th, 2007 G.Cosmo geombias-V08-03-00
     - Use call to G4GeometryTolerance instead of kCarTolerance constant in
       G4ParallelNavigator.

Mar, 24th 2003 M.Dressel geombias-V05-00-00
     - G4ParallelNavigator.cc: modified shift mechanism
       in ComputeStepLengthShifted().

Nov, 20th 2002 G.Cosmo geombias-V04-01-04
     - changed definition of G4NSplit_Weight from struct to class
       to allow porting on Windows DLLs.

Nov, 4th 2002 M.Dressel geombias-V04-01-03

   change the strategy for importance sampling:
	- G4VIStore: new function:
		IsKnown(const G4PTouchableKey &ptk)
		to tell if a cell (G4PTouchableKey) is known in the
		store
	- no biasing is applied between cells that are not known by 
	  the G4IStore and it's neighbors.
	- importance valu 0 is allowed to flag that no biasing should
	  be done betweeen the cell and it's neighbors.
    change the G4PArallelNavigator: 
        - using G4TouchableHanle
        - and LocateGlobalPointAndSetup
